England and Pakistan will be involved in the last set of T20 Internationals before the World Cup that is set to commence on June 1. Both sides won't be playing any warm-up matches in the lead up to the mega event and for the same reason, these four matches will be crucial for them.

The four-match T20I series between England and Pakistan will commence today (May 22). This is a crucial series for both teams with the T20 World Cup starting in less than two weeks from now. Moreover, they are not playing any warm-up matches in the lead up to the mega event and will have to sort out their combinations in the upcoming days.

Add to it that Pakistan are yet to announce their squad for the World Cup and might do it after the second T20I with the deadline set for May 25 by the International Cricket Council. Babar Azam is back to leading Pakistan after stepping down post the ODI World Cup debacle last year. Pakistan lost to Ireland recently but managed to make a comeback and win the three-match series.

On the other hand, England haven't played international cricket for quite some time as their players were busy in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Jos Buttler and his men will now be gearing up as England will look to defend their T20 World Cup title. Moreover, Jofra Archer is also making a comeback after a gap of 382 days and his fitness will be tested to the hilt ahead of the mega event.
